LOI?
- Thread starter NJCat
- Start date
@lou v Any news?
Btw, have you asked for time w CCC since the departures? Is Collins trying to do or avoid media things these days?
Good, we can all start breathing again. I would think with the transfers the admissions department is going over their info, so that takes a little longer than other schools.
Plus, unlike other signing periods this one is a month long. Illinois' stud recruit is waiting for his mother to travel from Jamaica to be with him to sign, so clearly people are not rushing...
the transfer market will be tough - i think we will see transfer role players with major minutes going to the young guys
Bob: assuming you're a Rock subscriber now from the other post you made, you can find out there whether or not he sjgned his LOI yeaterday...

I agree. NU may land transfers but they won’t turn the 2019-2020 team into Virginia. We need role players, but the 2020 class is the important one and JB seems like a good start.
With all the guys potentially turning pro, Virginia may be turning onto NU in 2019-20......
I think many people are overly optimistic on the contributions of transfers. Help yes, saviors no.
I think most people see Javon Freeman and Moore as likely top 7-8 players on a solid squad if they decided to join NU. Beyond that the team needs bodies next year and 10-20 minute type guys while the young kids develop.
I think Moore would be your best offensive weapon the minute he steps on campus. No idea about his defense. But he can score, especially since he won’t have anybody stealing touches or shots from him at NU.
Mooney was probably the best transfer in the country last year. And he was still the second or third best player on that team. Seemed like other high-profile transfers (Dotson on Kansas, Cremo on Villanova, Reid Travis on Kentucky) did not "live up to the hype". Certainly weren't the best players on their teams.
Jones was big especially waiting for spring - lots of the southeast was coming after him since he was unsigned.
Haywood any insight as to why Jones waited/was asked to wait to sign in the spring? Academic details that needed to be attended to? Just curious. Thanks.
Think that it was already posted that he wanted to focus on his high school basketball season....
Talk about a teaser. Now that he’s signed, can you share some examples of the schools that were going after JJ between when he committed to NU and when he signed?
